Family Zoo Outing

Back in April we took a day trip to the Memphis Zoo with Rhett's family. It was a lot of fun and turned out to be pretty good weather for walking around outside! It's always a gamble at the zoo since it can get pretty hot, but it was actually pretty cool that day. Rhett and I had fun playing with the kiddos all day and just getting to spend time with family.

KP is getting so big! We just saw her this weekend and she is talking up a storm. It's amazing how quickly they grow. They are so fun at this age though!

As a photographer it is hard for me to have a husband who won't cooperate for a picture...

This was the second time the whole family has gone to the zoo together. The last time was a year or two ago, and it was equally as fun. I hope we get to do it again next year!

Have you guys been able to go to the zoo yet this year? It's a really fun Spring/Summer activity, and I kind of hope I get to go again this year! The Memphis Zoo is quite amazing, and it seems to get better each year.

 Earlier this summer, I went to the zoo with Rhett's family. It was a great day out! I always enjoy little outings here and there, especially when they involve getting out of town. Rhett is the complete opposite...I think he'd be just tickled to never leave town. I predict lots of solo trips in my future! Anyway, I always enjoy hanging out with his family. I guess I'm pretty lucky that my future inlaws are so much fun to be around. (Before you ask, no ring yet, but after 5 years it's pretty obvious we'll be married someday)

 when we walked through the open air bird exhibit, Kenli got pooped on. this was both gross and a little hilarious. don't worry, she was sufficiently sanitized afterward.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures! The Memphis Zoo is definitely one of the best places to go for a day trip in this area, and as of now it's the best zoo I've been to. It's pretty big and they have made a lot of great improvements on the exhibits in the past 5 years or so. They even do weddings there if that tells you anything about how pretty it is!

This past weekend went by extremely fast. I had a wedding Saturday and also saw Midnight in Paris, which was great. Sunday was full of family and food...lots and lots of food. I hope you all had a wonderful Father's Day weekend. Also, I'd like to say Happy Birthday to my sweet mom! She's spending her birthday at the beach, that lucky little booger.
